Slide 12: New Focus GuideStar II Patent
(V]) New Focus’ GuideStar™ II Patent A Newport Corporation Brand Patent No.: US 7,528,364 B2 In a light (optical) beam stecring/sampling system, a matrix inversion control technique is used to decouple the operation Date of Patent: May 5, 2009 of the actuators which drive the steering mirrors. The c
Slide 13: Patent Explained: Pointing Actuators and Position Sensitive Detectors
GuideStarTM II Patent Explained 2 Pointing Actuators and 2 Position Sensitive Detectors Full and complete control of near-field beam Position and far-field beam Pointing requires both of the 2 Pointing Actuators to be in front of the two Detectors. Only then can the control matrix be really separate
